Veto the bill that would imprison rape victims who receive abortions

The GOP of New Mexico recently introduced a bill that denies a woman's right to choose abortion if she is a victim of rape. The terms of the bill liken the abortion to "tampering with evidence" essentially forcing the woman to carry the pregnancy to term (the alternative is jail).

A woman's body is her own - no matter what. In the case of rape, women need support and protection from their community, not to be isolated from their rights and their bodies. This proposed law criminalizes a woman's right to choose, rather than targetting a means to prevent rape in the first place.

To force a rape victim to carry her pregnancy to term is an extended violation against her personal security.
